G-Power BMW M6 F06 Does its Thing with Almost 1000 Nm

G-Power BMW M6 F06 Front View BMW M6 F06 is originally powered by the very potent TwinPower Turbo V8 engine, which produces 560 Nm (412 kW) horsepower and 700 Nm (517 lb-ft). The four-door saloon shows supercar performance, but there are always people who need to see more from everything. Therefore, the BMW performance specialists at G-POWER decided to offer three stages of engine upgrades for power hungry owners, delivering 650 hp, 700 hp, and 740 hp! The torque grew to almost 1000 Nm, making this M6 one of the most potent ones on the planet.

The power upgrade for the engine was in-house made and it alters the mapping of the control unit. There are actually two variants to choose from: Bi- Tronik 5 power module and the Bi-Tronik 2 factory ECU remap. Both offer power uprating to 650 hp with 830 Nm of torque.

The added power also requires some modifications in the hardware like the reduction in exhaust backpressure, which helps the Bi-Tronik 5 V2 conversion attain 700 hp (514 kW) and 905 Nm of torque. At last, the most powerful G-POWER tuning stage for the M6 motor is the Bi-Tronik 2 V3 which adds downpipes, a full-length titanium exhaust system with a four-pipe sport rear silencer and titanium link-pipes with integrated resonators.

As a result the BMW generates 740 hp and 975 Nm of torque and is able to do the 0 to 200 km/h sprint in an incredible 10.5 seconds on its way to a top speed of 325 km/h. Besides the additional power and torque, the titanium exhaust system is also responsible for a deep and sonorous soundtrack as well as 10.5 kg weight reduction.

The chassis performance is kept in line with the more powerful engine with new suspension systems, 21-inch Hurricane RR-forged alloys and 255/30ZR21 and 295/25ZR21 tyres, at the front and rear respectively.

G-Power Unusually Boosts the Mercedes-AMG S63

G-Power Mercedes-AMG S63 Front View G-Power is mainly responsible for the transformation of BMW cars. So this is the reason why this project is rather unusual, because it involves a Mercedes-AMG S63. Besides the new styling feats it has been equipped with, it has also received performance boost and Vmax extender. Dressed in beautiful matt-pearl grey color, this car exudes masculinity and prominence. And here are the details:

The Wheels

This S63 AMG runs on special in-house created Hurricane RR forged alloys, which are ultra weight and come in 20- and 21-inches of size. Besides the Jet Black color, they are also offered in Gun Metal Grey and Stardust Silver, and also feature optional diamond cut or high polished finish. Precisely, the front wheel arches were filled with 9,0Jx20-inch alloys connected with 255/35 R20 tyres, while the rear ones come in 10,5Jx20-inch and were mated with 285/30 R20 tyres.

We know that the weight has a direct influence on vehicle performance, but also that the lower unsprung mass of lighter wheels imposes less dynamic loads on the suspension elements. As a result, the handling and road holding as well as straight-line performance are improved.

Updates for the Engine

G-Power Mercedes-AMG S63 Rear View

The V8 motor under the hood of the S63 AMG has been tweaked via G-Power’s Bi-Tronik 5 V1 power upgrade. The result is spectacular, because it takes the vehicle from the standard 585hp (430 kW) to an incredible 705hp (518 kW), with peak torque swelling from 900 Nm (662 kW) to 1,000 Nm (741 kW).

After the removal of the Vmax limiter, the S63 coupe achieves effortlessly 330 km/h and covers the 0 to 100km/h benchmark in just 3.8 seconds, which is 0.1 seconds faster than the standard time.

Furthermore, there is high performance module, or the plug & play processor-controlled unit also programmed for crisper throttle response. This add-on system is not affected by factory software updates, and therefore the unit is also easily removed with no consequences.

G-Power Says Goodbye to 2015 with Special BMW M3 RS E9X

2015 G-Power BMW M3 RS E9X Front View G-Power has released its last project for 2015. As the year went by we witnessed some great tunings and this one here is another example of the exquisite work of the specialists. Under the attention of the masters is the BMW M3 E9X considered as the perfect base for a track day car. In combination with their SK III supercharger and the carbon-fibre aerodynamic parts, the M3 easily becomes M3 RS – a “serious player in the supercar league”.

Faster & Faster

There are two ways to make a car faster. The first one is to add power to its engine. The second: to reduce its weight by replacing some of the components with lightweight ones. But if you want to make an already faster car even faster, then you should first add the extra power and then use some carbon-fiber… or the other way around. This was basically the idea under the work of the experts at G-Power.

Carbon Manifesto

2015 G-Power BMW M3 RS E9X Rear View

Te tuning company undertook an in-house CAD development program to manifest one-off carbon-fibre aerodynamic components for the BMW M3 E9X. As you can clearly see, the largest carbon-fibre component on the car is the vented Carbon Venturi bonnet ‘RR’. It is not only the largest but also the lightest you will find on the market with weight of just 8.4 kg. This is a saving of 2.6 kg. In addition, this component was designed to dissipate the extra heat produced by the uprated engine.

G-Power ‘RS’ carbon-fibre front spoiler is available with or without air intakes and it reduces the lift over the front axle. At the rear, the ‘RS’ carbon-fibre boot lid in GTS style saves almost 5.0 kg… and due to CNC-machined aluminium struts it weighs just 1.2 kg.

Supercharged Power

2015 G-Power BMW M3 RS E9X Engine

G-Power SK III supercharger system is increasing the power output of this BMW so dramatically that it can be mistaken with some sort of rally car. Basically the horses were pumped up to 740 hp (544 kW), while the torque – to 700 Nm (517 lb-ft).

If you are familiar with the capabilities of the M3, then you have already grasped how huge the power increase is. There are 320 hp and 300 Nm in addition. The huge extra power is achieved through a displacement increase from 4.0 to 4.6-litres, followed by the installation of an ASA T1-724 supercharger with a high efficiency charge-air intercooler.

The powerplant is complemented with in-house crafted titanium exhaust, which incorporates a pair of 100-cell metal sport catalysts. The weight saving is 26 kg over the original steel system.

At last, we should mention that the M3 RS E9X runs on HURRICANE RR forged alloy wheels, sized 9.0 and 10.5×20-inches at the front and rear respectively, and coupled with 245/30ZR20 and 295/25ZR20 Michelin tires.

G-POWER M3 RS E9X Fast Facts:

740 hp / 544 kW at 8100rpm. (+ 320 hp / 235 kW)
700 Nm at 5,900 rpm. (+ 300 Nm)
Displacement increase: 4.0L to 4.6L

G-Power and the Beautifully Uprated M4 F82 Bi-Tronik

G-Power BMW M4 F82 Bi-Tronik Front View G-Power rises again with a special tuning for the M3 and M4. The car depicted here is the BMW M4 F82, which has received a very special optimization for its powerful engine. And instead of its standard 431 horsepower it now shows a lot more! The upgrade happened via an in-house developed Bi-Tronik 2 V2.

The result: an output of 560 hp (412 kW) and 720 Nm (531 lb-ft) of torque. This conversion catapults the Bavarian to 100km/h from a standing start in just 3.8 seconds. If the Vmax limitation is removed, then the top speed could be raised to a theoretical 330km/h. In reality, the car will achieve around 310km/h.

G-Power BMW M4 F82 Bi-Tronik Rear View

The dramatically enhanced performance was proved via test runs on the dyno and real world testing on the autobahns and country roads. What is more, complementary to the Bi-Tronik 2 V2 package, G-POWER installed downpipes which minimize the exhaust back pressure.

Furthermore, the car was also equipped with G-Power titanium exhaust system with four 90-millimeter tailpipes. They are optionally available in titanium or carbon finish, thus saving 7.1 kg.

At last, we should say about the addition of 21-inch HURRICANE RR forged alloy wheels, which were shod with 245/30ZR21 and 295/25ZR21 Michelin tires. Don’t miss the thrilling video about the car and check out the gallery below.

G-Power Releases M6 Convertible Producing 740 hp and 975 Nm

G-Power BMW M6 F12 Convertible is the next project for the day presented by the talented tuners at G-Power. Just like the X5, the M6 Convertible received power uprating and brand new wheels. Oh, let’s not forget the new lightweight exhaust system. Another thing these cars share in common is that, they can be both ordered from G-Power online web shop. But let’s get into details.

Bi-Tronik 2

After the power enhancement, the M6 F12 can produce up to 740 hp (544 kW) and 975 Nm (720 kW) of torque. This is a substantial increase was achieved via remapping of the factory ECU with Bi-Tronik 2. Thanks to it, the amount of fuel and the ignition timing are changed regarding the increased boost level. Bi-Tronik 2 has another benefit too: it allows wishes of the customer to be literally written into the software and applied onto the engine.

But there are also some additional modifications to the M6’s hardware, which are required to help the ECU remapping achieve the 740 hp. First, it is important to minimize the performance debilitating backpressure of the standard exhaust system.

To make this happen, G-POWER installed a first step flow optimized Downpipes that are offered either completely without catalytic converts or 200-cell racing-catalysts. Thanks to this modification, called stage V2 of the Bi-Tronik, G-POWER achieved 700hp. The stage V3 of the tuning is actually the addition of a Titanium exhaust system. It includes Titanium 4-tip sport silencer and Titanium link pipes with resonators starting from the Downpipe and its function is not only the throaty sound, but also the 12 kg weight savings. By the way, the exhaust is offered with Titanium or Carbon Tailpipes with a diameter of 100 mm each.

If you wonder about the top speed, it was increased too. It is now more than 300 km/h thanks to the G-Power V-MAX increase. Another important number is the 0-200 km/h acceleration time, which has been rated at 10.7 seconds, and we find that pretty impressive.

Wheels & Tires

At last, we should also say some words about the new HURRICANE RR wheels this BMW M6 received. They are sized at 21-inches and are fitted with 255/30ZR21 and 295/25ZR21 Michelin tyres, front and rear respectively. They color is Jet Black, but they can be also specified in Gun Metal Grey and Stardust Silver.

G-Power and the Brand New BMW X5 M F85

G-Power BMW X5 M F85 Front View G-Power has prepared for today two projects and we are starting with the BMW X5 M F85. It looks massive, features some exterior tweaks and more importantly substantial power output uprating. What is more, exactly this vehicle unit can be found on G-Power’s online shop, in case you like it that much.

HURRICANE

This is the name of tuning company’s new forged wheels generation, which is the lightest, strongest and most individual aluminum wheels production in the history of G-POWER. The alloys are made from ultra-light aircraft-grade aluminium. They can be specified in Jet Black (just like the X5 here), Gun Metal Grey and Stardust Silver colors. They can be also combined with a polished surface Diamond Cut and adorned by individual signature of up to 15 characters. In the wheels line-up there is also a polished version of the HURRICANE RR.

BMW X5 is fitted with 23-inch wheels, from the RR specification. They have been fitted with low profiles sized at 315/25 R23, thus enhancing the steering precision and handling.

ECU Choices?

But more important in my opinion is the power update made to the engine. G-POWER ensured that there is up to 700 hp (514 kW) and 905 Nm (668 lb-ft) of torque. But the really interesting thing here is that this power uprating can be achieved either by the G-POWER Bi-Tronik 5 performance module or the Bi-Tronik 2 bespoke remapping of the factory ECU. And the best part: both ways are advantageous!

The second step after the power increase was to delete the serial top speed restriction. G-Power raised the top speed to a theoretical value that cannot be achieved in practice, thus making it possible for the X5 M F85 to reach a Vmax resonating to its new power output of 700 hp (514 kW).

So… Are you ordering?

G-POWER Surprises with Custom 700+HP Mercedes-AMG S63

G-POWER Mercedes-AMG S63 Front View G-POWER Mercedes-AMG S63 is a tuning we haven’t expected. Why? The reason is that we are used to seeing rather BMW modifications coming from this customizer. As you can expect from G-POWER they have concentrated in uprating the power of the S63 AMG and this has happened via ECU means.

Directly to the details: the significant amount of additional power and torque is generated by the G-POWER Bi-Tronik 5 V1 external ECU control module, which has been integrated into the cars CAN-BUS system. In this way, it sits between the original ECU and the engine. Installed via simple plug-and-play process, it can be removed just as quickly.

As a result, the G-POWER AMG S63 adds 120 horsepower (88 kW) and 100 Nm (74 lb-ft) of torque. If this doesn’t mean anything to you, then you should know that the total output of the vehicle now reaches 705 hp (518 kW) at 5,000 rpm and 1,000 Nm (738 lb-ft) of torque, delivered from 3,000-5,000 rpm.

G-POWER Mercedes-AMG S63 Rear View

With its extra power and torque, the S63 AMG now sprints from standstill to 100 km/h in just 3.8 seconds. Oh, and have I mentioned that there is no Vmax limiter? This means that the car continues accelerating until it achieves 330km/h.

Better handling, grip, braking and road appearance is ensured via the ultra-light HURRICANE RR forged alloy wheels. They are sized 9.0J and 10.5J x 21-inch and shod with 265/30R21 and 295/30R21 tires, at the front and rear, respectively. These wheels come in “Jet Black” with a diamond cut finish to their spoke faces.

G-Power BMW 435d xDrive F32 Shows Amazing Performance

G-Power BMW 435d xDrive F32 Front View G-Power BMW 435d xDrive F32 will make BMW fans go crazy! The 4-Series has gone under significant engine update and as a result it is now capable of showing more performance compared to its stock siblings and even compared to upper-range models. Of course, the modifications were carefully conducted by the expert knowledge of the German specialists at G-Power. In fact, we have seen that they are able to do some fantastic engine uprating. Remember the 610HP BMW 760i? If you don’t, you should definitely check it in the link below.

Straight to the numbers, the G-POWER 435d xDrive F32 has a power output increase of 67 hp and 125 Nm of torque. This significant update was achieved via performance software.

A Total of 380 hp and 755 Nm

As a result, the BMW 435d has now an output to brag about: 380 hp (279 kW) and 755 Nm (557 lb-ft) of torque. As a matter of fact, the 3.0 litres 6-cylinder serial motor with its default Biturbo charge was the perfect basis for the additional power increase.

The special performance software tunes the factory BMW motor electronics, thus increasing the power by 67 hp (49 kW) to a total of 380 hp (279 kW). The torque improvement is even more impressive, adding a total of 125 Nm and resulting to a staggering 755 Nm (577 lb-ft).

Kill the Top Speed Restriction

How about the top speed? G-Power did not provide any details about it, but only said that there is the option of “killing” the serial top speed restriction. The way they can do this is to raise the limit of the top speed to a theoretical value that can not be achieved in practice. This is how, the G-POWER BMW 435d xDrive would be capable of achieving a top speed that is in accordance to its new power output.

Exterior Gets Minor Changes

The guys at G-Power have obviously concentrated on the “heart” of the BMW. This is why there is not much work done on the exterior or the interior. Well, more sportiness is gained via the new set of 20-inch big G-POWER HURRICANE RR forged wheels. They will surely assist in the perfect way the new horsepower and torque capability of the BMW 435d.

G-Power BMW 760i Breaks Standards with 610HP

G-Power BMW 760i Front View G-Power BMW 760i or in other words the next BMW featured on our site today. This time, knowing that G-Power is extremely capable in boosting performance, we will focus exactly on this. Or to say it like this, you will find out how the experts have managed to add 66 hp and 120 Nm to this 7-Series.

Precisely, the V12 bi-turbo engine in the current 760i F01 is capable of boasting 544 hp (400 kW) and 750 Nm (554 lb-ft) of torque. This is quite impressive, but when it comes to engine tuning, people always demand more.

G-Power is Not Satisfied with Stocks 544HP

G-Power BMW 760i Engine View

As a result, the great looking BMW 760i received a Bi-Tronik 5 V1 performance module from G-Power. It has been installed between the factory ECU and its data bus input. In addition, the module starts working only when the driver demands full throttle.

G-Power BMW 760i F01 adds 66HP.

The result is stunning and it is 610 hp (513 kW) at 6,000rpm and 870 Nm (642 lb-ft) of maximum torque achieved at 2,600 rpm. If you wonder about the acceleration time, it is obvious that when you add more horsepower, you will also achieve much faster results. So, the 0-100 km/h sprint is now covered in just 4.3 seconds.

However, these extra 66 hp literally demand additional sporting dimensions. First, the reliability and longevity of the V12 engine is kept intact via the built-in protection system of the module. How does it work? It does not allow the extra power to be used until the prescribed engine coolant temperature has been reached.

More Power = Better Wheels

G-Power BMW 760i Side View

Next, to make it look even more monstrous and complement the additional output, the specialists at G-Power have also added 21-inch diameter HURRICANE RR forged alloys in Jet Black with a DIAMOND CUT finish. Then, they have fitted the new wheels with Michelin tires in the dimensions of 255/35ZR21 at the front and 295/30ZR21 at the rear.

Much better than the original ones, right? So what do you think of this BMW?

G-POWER BMW M3 Comes with Tremendous Torque Results!

2015 G-POWER BMW M3 F80 can pump out 560 horsepower and 720 Newton meters of torque. The reason for this is that the famous M3 series have received in-house developed Bi-Tronik 2 V2 remap. The difference here is that unlike generic remaps, this one is customized for the original control unit in the particular vehicle on the pictures below.

Bi-Tronik 2 V2 Package for the G-POWER BMW M3

What does this mean? The BMW M3 can now actually achieve maximum all-round performance enhancement. As a matter of fact, this is the hardest way to implement such upgrade. The reason for this is that one has to crack the factory 128-bit encryption first.

The experts at G-POWER had obviously no hindrances in applying this method, because they have achieved great results. In addition, to prove that everything runs smoothly, they have made extensive test runs on the dyno and real world testing on the autobahns and country roads. The end effect is visible via the improved performance and outstanding drivability of the Bi-Tronik 2 V2 conversion.

G-POWER BMW M3 Exterior Tuning

Furthermore this G-POWEER BMW M3 also received some additional tuning improvements which support the Bi-Tronik 2 V2 package and perfectly complement it. Precisely, the tuners installed downpipes that substantially reduce the exhaust back pressure.

In fact, the in-house made titanium exhaust system features four 90-millimeter tailpipes, but future customers can opt for titanium or carbon ones. It also includes a sound flap in the rear silencer with remote control regulation. Because of the lightweight materials, car’s weight dropped by up to 7.1 kg.

Having a reduced unsprung mass means only a need of handling improvement. Hence, G-POWER added to this BMW M3 21-inch HURRICANE RR alloys and fitted them with 245/30ZR21 and 295/25ZR21 Michelin tires.

The wheels are actually made of ultra-light aircraft-grade aluminium. They are available in Jet Black, Gun Metal Grey and Stardust Silver, and in this case come in the aforementioned grey color.

G-POWER BMW M3 Performance Figures

The output of this car is now 560 hp (412 Nm) strong at 6,500 rpm and can generate 720 Nm (531 lb-ft) of optimum torque at 4,500 rpm. This means additional 129 hp (95 kW) and 170 Nm (125 lb-ft).

This enhancement catapults the Bavarian super car to 100km/h from a standing start in just 3.8 seconds. The Vmax have been released from its factory limitation and now reaches 310km/h.

What does G-Power Have in mind for this BMW M550d?

G-Power BMW M550d Side View Speaking about BMW is a tough task, since every car in the range has great characteristics. But when it comes to a G-Power modification on an M model, things get pretty serious. This is the case with this M550d, which has received a significant engine upgrade and some (minor) styling modifications. This BMW M550d is driven by a standard 3.0-litre inline six-cylinder diesel unit. Via a three-stage, variable geometry turbocharging, the engine is capable of producing 381 hp (280 kW) and 740 Nm (347 lb-ft) of torque. Impressive, isn’t it?

But … what we have here is the exclusive upgrade that endows the car with even more horses. Thanks to an advanced D-Tronik 5 V1 control module, the M550d stuns us with 435 hp (320 kW) and 850 Nm (627 lb-ft) of torque.

Furthermore, G-Power has ensured to keep all standard diagnostics and engine protection functions intact. What does this mean? In particular, when the coolant water reaches the ideal temperature, the D-Tronik 5 V1 module engages, and then disengages when the limit of engine oil temperature is reached.

In addition to this, the module is also programmed to respond to driver’s right foot and only engages when full power is demanded. And this is when the tuned motor performs at its full potential. Covering the 0-100 km/h sprint, this BMW needs only 4.5 seconds. And believe it or not, its top speed exceeds 270km/h.

These additional horses are taken onto the road with the help of new in-house made double five-spoke Hurricane wheels that come in the size of 9.0×21 and 10.5×21-inches at the front and rear, respectively. They are coupled with Michelin rubbers of the dimensions of 255/30ZR21 and 295/25ZR 21.

What do you think of this cool project? In our opinion G-Power has done a pretty good job!

This is the Ultimate M5. G-Power Tunes it to crazy 740 HP

G-Power is a tuner famous for its admirations for BMW models. And specializing only in this single company’s products it has achieved heights that it is literally impossible for anyone else to follow it. Of course, we are speaking in terms of power, since this beautiful black M5 is capable of more than 740 horsepower (455 kW) and 975 Nm (717 lb-ft), delivering it via its tweaked 4.4 V8 bi-turbo engine.

This means that the car achieves the same performance level as the first versions of the legendary G-Power M5 and M6 HURRICANE cars that were equipped with the supercharged V10 engines. And if these numbers mean nothing to you, then you should know that the standard M55 generates “only” 560 hp/(412 kW) and 680 Nm (502 lb-ft). Now this is impressive, isn’t it?

But how this gain in power has been achieved? The performance package here is called Bi-Tronik 5 V4. It comprises of an external performance module that has been based on a microprocessor, as well as a Titanium exhaust system with racing catalysts.

Then the Bi-Tronik 5 V4 was enhances by a G-Power V-MAX increase, which is actually a software optimization that adds some numbers to the top speed. The result is breathtaking: the V-max now stands at 350 km/h. All of these changes logically result in better performance figures. G-Power says that the enhanced BMW sprints from 0 to 200 km/h in only 10.5 seconds on its way to the new top speed.

Modifications have been implemented to the engine cover, which is now made from visual carbon fibre, and there is tuning company’s badge in its middle. The sound of the powerful unit now goes out from four titanium/carbon tail pipes. Then, the appropriate wheels were added, being namely the 21 inch G-Power HURRICANE RR, which were then shod with 255/30 ZR 21 and 295/25 ZR 21 Michelins.

All in all, this is another stunning tuning from G-Power that attracts a lot of attention. Great work guys!
